Cutting the corpus callosum results in the two hemispheres operating independently, leading to "disconnection syndrome," where each hemisphere cannot communicate with the other. This can cause issues like the inability to verbally identify objects touched by the left hand, as the right hemisphere (which controls the left hand) is not typically involved in language processing.
